New beginnings arrive like dawn
leaving yesterday’s literary of yore
shedding light on (to) day and morrowthe gift of do-overs
back to the future
ahead of myself

Angie hosts Real Toads today and would like us to write a poem about new beginnings, a special celebration or a milestone memory, using word lists she has provided. My choice~ Over, Beginning, Back, Ahead

I love what you did here to create the hug-pause:
“shedding light on (to) day and morrow” … Obviously I do this a lot too. 🙂

This is great. the image you chose to illustrate this with is almost as spectacular as the words. “New beginnings arrive like dawn’…you remind us that each day is a new beginning.
